Lindsay Fauntleroy, LAc
Reclaim your inner guidance, attune to spirit, and begin healing the wounds carried in your lineage with the transformative vibration of flower essences...
Rooted in Indigenous and African diasporic traditions, these plant allies open the doorway to ancestral ways — where dreams speak in symbols, the Earth is a living relative, and unseen guidance flows through every step you take toward your soul’s purpose.
Could the medicine your spirit has been longing for be held in a single flower?
Flower essences — subtle yet powerful plant remedies — can heal far more than the body. They can dissolve inherited patterns, calm the mind, balance emotions, and open the channels of intuitive guidance your ancestors once relied upon.
Acting like a tuning fork, flower essences work through sympathetic resonance to harmonize misaligned thoughts, emotions, and beliefs — helping you awaken your subtle body’s deep remembering and release the patterns that block connection to the natural world, your lineage, and your community.
In this 7-module immersion with Lindsay Fauntleroy, LAc, founder of The Spirit Seed School, you’ll work with these vibrational allies to heal across generations, restore your sense of belonging, and reconnect with the natural rhythms that sustain life.
Along the way, you’ll revive ancestral ways of knowing — the intuitive, land-based wisdom that guided your elders in deep relationship with the Earth, spirit, dreams, and the living intelligence of plants.
Now more than ever, we are being called to reclaim these ways — not only to heal ourselves, but to mend the fractures in our lineages and contribute to collective restoration.
If the modern world feels hollow or lost — this is a powerful moment to turn inward and realign with what is timeless and true, says Lindsay.
Lindsay, a licensed acupuncturist who has spent over 25 years immersed in sacred study within African Diasporic spiritual communities under the mentorship of lineage elders, is a fierce advocate for reclaiming ancestral knowledge systems as tools for personal evolution and collective liberation.
To that end, Lindsay turns to the energetic and biochemical gifts of flower essences with African and Indigenous spiritual technologies, offering a grounded yet deeply transformative framework for wholeness.
You’ll learn how to work with these remedies as both psychological and spiritual medicine — that help attune us to higher frequencies and shift the unconscious patterns that keep us disconnected — opening pathways to profound holistic healing, self-awareness, and spiritual transformation.
During your time with Lindsay, you’ll tune in to the quiet language of the Earth, where dreams carry powerful truths, flower essences hold medicine, and their subtle energies speak to us through spiritual practices you can bring into your daily life.
This is not a course about theory — it’s a living ceremony. Through somatic practice, ritual, creative expression, and sacred reflection, you’ll trace the threads of your lineage to uncover and begin healing inherited wounds.
The first three modules will focus on cultivating ancestral ways of knowing — refining your sensitivity to receive wisdom from the land, spirit, intuition, and dreams.
Modules four and five will guide you in building direct relationships with your ancestors as sources of healing, support, and belonging.
The final two modules will invite you to explore what it means to become a “good ancestor” yourself — learning to share your personal gifts to support future generations and collective healing.
During this 7-module self-paced video course, you’ll:
- Gain a deeper sense of purpose and belonging by discovering your personal geopsyche — how your soul is shaped by the land — and attune to Earth’s natural rhythms through somatic practices, flower medicine, and ancestral earth-based psychology
- Activate your subtle energy body and access ancestral ways of knowing through theta states, intuition, and active imagination
- Release stress and restore inner calm with flower allies like Sweet Pea, Manzanita, and Green Nicotiana — each offering unique gifts to support reconnection and clarity
- Access profound spiritual guidance through your dreams by working with Mugwort, Star Tulip, and Clematis to enhance spiritual receptivity and ancestral connection during sleep
- Uncover and heal inherited wounds by examining family patterns and traumas
- Create personal rituals — like an altar or family crest — to honor and transform your lineage
- Release ancestral burdens and restore a sense of belonging with the support of flower allies like Angelica, Forget-Me-Not, Mariposa Lily, Baby Blue Eyes, Joshua Tree, and Saguaro
- Understand modernity as a collective trauma and explore how systems like racism and disconnection from nature live in the body
- Reset your nervous system and restore your capacity for presence in a 1-day digital fast and land ritual
- Step into your role as a “good ancestor” by aligning your life with the “You, Me, We” model — and embrace your destiny as part of a larger web of communal and ecological wisdom
- Build resilience, sovereignty, and spiritual alignment with the support of flower allies like Mountain Pride, Goldenrod, Scotch Broom, and Quaking Grass
- Reconnect with your ancestral lineage and spiritual support systems through rituals, storytelling, and creative mapping practices that honor your roots and traditions
- And much more...

— West African Proverb
Lindsay invites you into a heartfelt exploration of ancestry, belonging, and the living threads that connect you to those who came before. Rooted in the Afro-Indigenous concept of the communal self, you'll be guided to view your identity not as separate, but as part of an interwoven lineage of memory, wisdom, and spirit.
You can connect to this larger stream of consciousness for guidance when you feel lost, afraid, or confused.
You’ll explore your familial lineage of plant medicine and uncover both implicit and explicit forms of ancestral reverence within your family of origin to support a deeper connection and presence of personal ancestors.
Lindsay encourages you to honor and celebrate the blessings, gifts, and traditions passed down through your bloodline — both seen and unseen. If you’re estranged from your biological families, you’ll explore the concept of “Egbe” which connects you to a larger soul family of spiritual support and guidance.
A creative Family Mapping Collage exercise will help you visualize and reconnect with your ancestral field, offering insight into patterns, strengths, and the legacy you carry.

Explore the impact of modernity as a collective trauma — one that has disrupted Indigenous Knowledge Systems and severed many from their ancestral and ecological roots.
Together with Lindsay, you’ll examine how societal wounds such as racism, sexism, and scientific materialism are not just historical forces but active energies expressed through our bodies, beliefs, and behaviors today.
Through guided reflection, you’ll investigate how these collective ancestral wounds have shaped your worldview, and how healing them begins with awareness and intentional reconnection.
This provides context for disrupting cycles of behavior and habits that perpetuate depression, anxiety, separation, and disconnection in our modern, tech-driven society.
You’ll also audit your personal relationship with digital technology and explore how constant connectivity may interfere with your ability to receive subtle, intuitive messages from the Earth, Spirit, and ancestral realms.

You’ll be invited to reflect on your unique path through the lens of service, relationship, and spiritual alignment.
Learn how to receive mentorship from the “Ori” — the inner and outer divine intelligence expressed through nature — and deepen your understanding of the “You, Me, We” axis: the dynamic relationship between self, others, and the collective.
Lindsay helps you explore how to transform personal and cultural narcissism into a more balanced, reciprocal partnership with Earth and Spirit.
